Altered Notebooks

You may remember this altered notebook that I gave to my downline a couple of month's ago...here are three more of the same layout using different DSP color schemes that I made for the hostesses in my club.

Simple beauty

I love creating simple cards that still look elegant. Using the Sweet and Sour Designer Series Paper made creating this card so easy. The paper gives an eloquent background, while keeping the focus of the card--the 5 petal flower. The rhinestone jewel accents take a simple card up a notch to a stunning card.

While at convention, one of the main stage presenters showed us how to make these easy flowers. Simply punch the 5 petal flower twice out of the card stock of your choice. Spray the punches flowers with water, then wad it up into a ball. Open each flower up and pinch the petals of the flowers to get the shape that you wish. Set aside to dry. Once they are dry, simply layer the two flowers and connect them with a brad. So easy!

Love like a Butterfly

It's like Christmas in July at my house! I received a very large order of new goodies from the brand new Idea Book & Catalog on Friday, so I spent my weekend playing with my new stuff: new Designer Series Paper, stamp sets, ribbons, brads, buttons, embossing folders, tools, etc etc.

The "Butterfly Prints" stamp set is perfect for summer time and coordinates nicely with "Flight of the Butterfly." And the Sweet and Sour DSP just squeals summertime with it's bright, lavish color scheme!

To top it off, I added a couple of buttons to the card front for extra dimension and character.
